PRE-EMPLOYMENT EXAMINATION

The occupational health services provided for Tapojärvi employees include limited medical care services, i.e. acute care. Statutory occupational health services (pre-employment and periodic examinations) are provided for employees exposed to factors causing a special risk of illness in their work.

These employees include:

• process operators

• drivers

• heavy equipment installers

• construction workers

• work supervisors, depending on the job description

If the employment contract includes a requirement for a pre-employment examination, the employee must get examined during the probation period.

Drug tests required by contract agreements are carried out by occupational health care. The drug test requirement also applies to contractors.

The employee must deliver their health certificate to their supervisor immediately after the health examination.

Tapojärvi’s clients may enforce their own qualification requirements, which are also applied by Tapojärvi.

Depending on the employment contract, the probation period lasts no more than four or six months, unless otherwise agreed. During the probation, the contract may be terminated by either party without a notice period.

If the employment relationship lasts less than eight (employees) or twelve (clerical employees) months, the probation will last no longer than half of the currency of the contract.
